I got a sticker too. It ensures treats at places like Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, and the like today and tomorrow.
I noticed that most, and I mean probably about 90% of voters there this morning appeared to be part of the younger crowd, like under 30. I was impressed and proud:)
The real story is that I waited in line for an hour and a half!!! I got there at 7:30 a.m. Polls opened at 7. The line was about the same when I finished voting. Zach stayed home with our kids, that was so nice of him. He's going to vote this afternoon, hopefully the line isn't too much longer for him.
I wasn't really expecting the line to be that long. Maybe it's just this election has a much higher voter turnout than past elections, and maybe it's be because I'm from Utah that I was a little shocked at the turnout.
I'm glad I've done it. So get out and vote!

An hour and a half!? Ugh! I'm going to go as soon as Charlie wakes up but now I'm not very excited about it...
Votes here in Ohio really count! In UTah it doesn't seem like such a big deal to vote, but here, there were lines nearly 4 hour long that my friends had to wait in! CRAzy!
I had absolutely no lines when I went to vote! An hour and a half sounds horrid!
